*Well-made, delivered quickly, and easy to install with **Fastly.Cool** . I may be imagining it, but it seems quieter than the 14 year-old unit that I pulled out. Of course it was noisy at the end due to failed bearings, so hard to compare. :)*
Great video! I think it confirmed for me that my fan motor is bad. I took a short cut and used a "sniffer" - a voltage detector that tells you if the electromotive force of AC voltage is present - and it indicated there is voltage downstream of the controller on the motor leg. I'll be looking for your motor retrofit video! Thanks.
I regreased my motor bearings and rewired as diagrammed. I get voltage on the thermostat output when temperature is reached but my motor no longer spins. Would you have any idea why it doesn't power on? Motor was functioning before, just squealing. Scratching my head.
That is a head scratcher. It sounds like the motor has failed. To be absolutely sure jump the hot & neutral directly to the fan wiring. My motor was not repair friendly. If my memory is correct, I think someone has added a detailed comment to this video on repairing the motors. Try scrolling through them, it's one with a long reply.
The comment isn't on this video, it's on this one. The name of the commenter is stephen slaw. Here's the link to my other video with the comment: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--AmBY_9_BpM.html
Hi Sergey, you may want to refine your search for "Attic Fan Motor Repair" instead of "Attic Fan". If you do a google search for "Attic Fan" you will find the entire unit as shown in the video's thumbnail picture, not a fan motor. You will also notice the box shown in the video says "Attic Fan". If you search for "Attic Fan Motor" you will find a fan motors. You are not being fair accusing me of making a "click bait " video and two simple searches prove it.
@@Know-How-Now Please, take a look at your description not just the title. You are talking about "How to test an attic fan motor..." and then "...by a failed motor ...". By reading this, it makes an impression the video will indeed show ways to test the motor as well. Consider updating the title and the description, as a video about an attic fan thermostat is informative.
I'm looking at your two videos on your channel, the titles are, "December 31, 2018" and "Proposal Presentation". You have one subscriber and 25 views. You are the only person out of over 48,000 views of this video who is accusing me of a click bait title. There are 504 likes and 16 dislikes for the video. I think I will forgo your advice.
@@Know-How-Now Hey, I appreciate you look at my videos from my University days :). It is hardly called a "Channel". Oh, well, this video is not a "Rocket Science" ;), so it is up to you of course. Regards.
Thanks for understanding, Sergey. I have another related video. I'll put a link to it. If you scroll down the comments, Stefan Slaw has added detailed information on repairing the fan motor. I think I remember trying to take mine apart and it was almost impossible. It was just easier to replace the controller and the fan as a unit. Sadly, so many things are designed to be thrown away rather than repaired. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--AmBY_9_BpM.html
There is a gear on RU-vid and you can speed up or slow down the play speed. That problem is solved for you. I like constructive criticism, you say it's not tested properly. How do you properly test it?
